Thompson, a Harvard-trained
lawyer was arrested last year in Portland,
Oregon with multiple fake IDs and $980,000 cash
stashed in a suitcase. After his arrest,
Thompson refused to confirm his real name
as John Cody, and signed his name
as "Mr. X" on court papers.

Campaign finance filings show Thompson showered Republican
politicians like Mitt Romney, John McCain, and former 43rd
President George Bush with generous donations. Federal
authorities have been searching for Thompson since 1987 for
embezzlement charges.

When addressing the court, Thompson maintained that he has been
misidentified and offered no apology, reports ABC News.

Thompson's appearance during the final days of his
trial was sloppy, appearing in court with an
unbuttoned shirt exposing most of his chest and stomach. The
judge ordered that he be "dressed, groomed and showered" by 8
a.m. on trial days.

During his sentencing, Thompson said that he
experienced abuse from jailers while incarcerated. Jailers
said he bloodied his forehead smashing it against a holding cell
wall, reports AP.
